Metallothionein-3-mediated intracellular zinc mediates antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses in the complete Freund’s adjuvant-induced inflammatory pain mouse model by Ngoc Buu Tran, Sook-Jeong Lee

“…The results demonstrated that increasing intracellular Zn2+ levels ameliorate deficits in motor behavior, as well as inflammation in the paw, spleen, and thymus. Furthermore, intracellular Zn2+ was crucial in regulating oxidative stress markers (glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and malondialdehyde) and inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6, in MT3 knockout mice induced with CFA. …”

Transplantation Tolerance Induced in Humans at the Fetal or the Neonatal Stage by Jean-Louis Touraine, Kamel Sanhadji

“…Numerous T-cells recognizing the allogeneic, host-type antigens are identified in these patients, but these cells are anergized, following interaction with epithelial cells of the host thymus. Induction of transplantation tolerance at the fetal stage requires minimal engraftment only; in the future it will be possible to further amplify the clinical benefit, using additional cell transplants after birth.…”
